I was really not very impressed, especially after playing M&M for as long as I have. I've played regular tri-stat and liked it fairly well, but the superhero version just doesn't stack up for a number of reasons. I found combat harder than it should be, and the lack of a stunt mechanic was really felt.Three sessions, especially under the GM I had at the time, is probably not nearly enough to fairly evaluate it; there could be something in there that I flat-out missed, but the system itself did not inspire any great love in me.I also find the setting to be more than a little bland and it has that 'thrown together at the last minute' feel to me. None of the 'iconics' are really appealing to me, either. That has nothing to do with the system, per se, but it means almost all of the supporting material is thin and not very well done.The fiction that was published for it, though? Top notch. I also found the supplement Shield of Justice contains one of the best outlines of the superheroic motivation (basically, 'how to behave like a comic book superhero') I've ever read. Get that regardless of the system you decide to go with.</blockquote>
